I don't know if this helps, but I found a nice comparative review of SportyPal PRO and iMapMYFITNESS+ on the xperia-active.com blog.

Dino,

Update: I haven't heard a conclusive word on the new BioHarness yet. What I can tell you is that the BioHarness 3 was supposed to be on the market by now according to conversations I had with Zephyr months ago with a price point set to be somewhere near $200. Zephyr is a healthy company with a very active R&D department.

As soon as I get word on the product's status, it will be posted here.

Hi Dino,

I will call my Zephyr contact tomorrow (Monday Sept 5) and will update here accordingly. The original launch date of BioHarness 3 was affected by component shortages as a result of Japan's tsunami.
Thanks for your question!

Any other purchasing options, 25$ is high for domestic shipping.

The title "...Coming to Real Phones..." was slightly in jest, however Nokia did break my heart. The N8 is a great cameraphone, but what does it matter? N8, N9, flagship Symbian, flagship Meego... They're all are dead tools, from a company with a very uncertain future.

Real phone, hah??
Are really using a phone, not a brand or operative system?
After been using mobile phones since 1990 makes me laugh to comments like that!
Now using N8 with all possible features.

Sorry, this post was during last year's TDF.

I'm currently following with this app:

But no app I know of tracks rider's vital stats this year.

Too bad, considering Garmin's stake in ANT+ that they're not doing this. At
least not on Android.

After reading the HTC-Columbia news release, it doesn't look like they're going to be delivering real-time data to Android handsets via MyTracks - it looks like they're using MyTracks and some custom hardware to collect
the data, but the article doesn't really give any indication of how it
will be consumed... I hope it'll be possible to follow the Tour from my
Droid this year, and it'll be even better if in real time, but I'm not
holding my breath for delivery through MyTracks.

Re: Bluetooth and ANT+ Sensor Tech for Mobile Phones Today

jayarmstrong — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:24:13 -0000

It's looking up a bit:
current android phones with ANT+ http://www.thisisant.com/pages...
current android apps with ANT+ ...
- in market https://market.android.com/sea...
- from wahoo's site http://www.wahoofitness.com/Ap...
+ adidas micoach app also??

If I skimmed your article correctly, one of the key differences is that the current bluetooth apps are hardware-model specific, whereas ANT+ is much more flexible. So if I use any ANT+ app on my phone to measure my heart rate, and my heart rate monitor dies, I could pick up any new ANT+ heart monitor without having to verify compatibility with the app developer. If that's the case, I'd much rather see ANT+ take off.

Apparently the Sony Erickson Android phones (X8, X10) do. Also the endomondo app (available in the market) supports ANT+, if you've got the ANT+ phone anyhow...

Just received Zephyr HxM. It was easy to setup and works flawlessly. The only thing is I had to pair the monitor outside of sporttracker. It crashed when I tried to pair from within sporttracker.

is there's yet any android phone which is ANT+ compatible?Thx!

Neale Evert — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 08:14:13 -0000

I ordered my Zephyr HxM yesterday from South Africa after reading this blog, hopefully it arrives! Been using Google My Tracks to log GPS data for mountain biking and hope to add HR data as well.

Which sports monitoring app would you recommend for Android? What is everyone out there using?

Besides, many or most of WinMo phones are ANT+ capable thanks to their
hardware specs. So, no BT to ANT+ converters would be necessary. Perhaps
firmware tweaks, but no hardware converters.

I've had this come up here and in other forums. A Google dev working on My
Tracks said once that one existed, but in an entire year of asking about it,
he won't give a solid answer.

If an ANT+ to BT device exists, tell us where to find one.

They are similar but competing protocols. So, if such converters exist,
they're likely for development use only.
